What Causes Severe Foot Pain While Getting Up In An Elderly Woman?
Question: I am 76 years old And and getting over a quad strain that I had PT with. Today when I stood up and lifted my foot to go over a door sill the pain was excruciating. There is no swelling or bruising . I can sit with my knee bent but then one I try to get up again the pain is very bad . I also can walk okay once I am up . Thank you
Brief Answer:
Strain has not healed properly yet.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain while getting up is suggestive of quadriceps strain. It may take 4-6 weeks to heal. If the pain is persistent then it means it has not healed properly. You need more rest. You can use a pair of knee supports during the daily activities to provide an extra support to the knee.
Do avoid all the painful activities till it heals completely.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
